Hey, let's buy them Stillers

Associated PressUpon buying the Steelers, Cleveland fans sell Ben Roethlisberger's contract to the Saskatchewan Roughriders, removing him from the NFL in what would be his prime football years. Ironically, he competes with Charlie Frye for the starting spot.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are on the market. You can read the details in the Sports section, but Browns fans' main concerns should be, how can we buy them, neutralize them as a foe and put Cleveland's unique stamp on them. Who, around here, ought to be bidding?

Here are a few of our suggestions, just to get the oblong ball rolling:

Cuyahoga County: Double the roster, hire five long snappers, pay two of them lots of overtime.

The RTA: If the Browns and the Steelers played at the Stadium, people might ride the Waterfront Line 16 days a year, instead of eight. Ticket prices would have to go up, though.
